Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I think if it is DC it's almost certainly the BtAS batmobile. The fact Mr Freeze was supposed to be in the skyline and now is in a different set I think it'd make a lot of sense for them to put the figure that really only appeals to hardcore fans in that one and it'd be so in character for LEGO to decided to decide to do the skyline first, then when they decide to add a couple bonus BtAS sets just pillaging figures from the first set instead of making new characters to be the exclusives -

NGL, I think past a certain point LEGO DC's failure have been almost entirely due to LEGO's mismanagement. Like there's the obvious things like the WW84 set, the roster for the CMF, etc but also Batman is so popular and has such a diverse cast he could absolutely hold an actual regular theme if LEGO didn't constantly handicap themselves. We talk a lot here about how kid's need a DC cartoon for them to care about Batman but hundreds of non-LEGO Batman toys thrive to this day. I mean sure kids now play the Arkham games and there's a million of those 'sigma male grindset' videos for sexist 12 year olds based around the Bale films but surely those aren't what keep Batman products moving, I think if they just did a handful of distinct colourful sets with various Batvehicles and villains they'd do better than coasting off nostalgia for the guy from The Flash. Maybe it's just what I've seen but I swear to god the tie in sets for half the Marvel movies now seem to never leave store shelves -

Yes, absolutely. LEGO will definitely make a DC set of Luigi's Pizzeria, they won't even include Batman just Luigi, (maybe with a vacuum cleaner or a mushroom) Falcone and Polka dot man's two henchmen from Detective comics 300 -
Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Even with their Joker obsession they are not touching Jared Leto's one, potentially the biggest punching bag in CBM history played by the only DC actor who can Rival Ezra with the amount of shady shit they're involved in with merch of him still clogging up stores to this day. He's like a perfect storm of reasons for LEGO to stay away. The LEGO Movie set really only makes it more likely they'd do Harley, they decided years after the original film she was popular enough to put in a unrelated set. Though I will reiterate that I do not think there's a chance they do any DCEU sets due to how that's the franchise that put LEGO DC in the hole it's in now -

Also worth noting that DCEU sets selling like they did is likely the main reason the LEGO DC line is what it is today, they are not touching those films again anytime soon. If they did do one though it'd probably loosely based on Suicide Squad as aside the only other DCEU figure I could see them thinking would be worth producing other than a Batman would be another Margot's Harley. Genuinely probably more chance of them doing a Batmanless set than that -
Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
That's a good point, though the thing that makes me wonder is Daredevil, the show was popular but not the only thing he was known for. I feel most parents wouldn't know the name or would think of him as just 'the blind superhero' as he was one of the few Marvel characters outside the usual Spider-man, X-men, Fantastic Four that regular people knew of before the MCU. It's definitely not on the level of Deadpool where everyone is aware from the name that it's the R rated superhero -

Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
This Joker talk has got me thinking, do we think there are any DC characters who LEGO would no longer be willing to put in regular sets? Because with Marvel Deadpool and Daredevil are now limited to exclusive figures or 18+ sets even for comic based versions of them, do you think characters like Polka dot man or Darkseid would now be similarly limited if LEGO wanted to include them due to how they're mainly tied to an R rated film? I wish they'd at least do a set with Robin, with both the animated series and the '66 show the image of Batman and Robin hopping in the car together and driving off is the image that stays in my mind of their Batmobiles. It feels odd to not include him. -

Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I know Marvel sets used to be loosely based on the cartoons for a while back there but I really feel like this wouldn't help. How popular has Teen Titans Go been for over a decade and they've not done any unofficial tie ins. I don't think that even if they had another popular cartoon LEGO would keep just doing nostalgic Batman sets -

I like the Clock King reference, that's my favourite episode of the series -

TBF neither of those are even remotely as vile or poisonous to marketability as being a p*do. Granted I doubt that's the actual reason that Mad Hatter is never included as he's in all the games, though he wasn't even in TLBM so there is almost certainty something more to his exclusion than just not thinking he'd sell -

This got me thinking, how many of the staple molds for DC characters do we think are discontinued? There's a real chance we're never seeing that OG flash cowl again -

Has any superhero cartoon bar Ultimate Spider-man and that recent Spider-man Disney Junior show, gotten LEGO sets? I don't even think Caped Crusader would make LEGO do an actual wave of Batman sets -

Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
LEGO doesn't target us generally with most their products, I get that, however the various types of buildable figures are the one aspect of their line-up that I genuinely think has no substantial audience. They always languish on shelves, it really confuses me. You can still find those Star Wars ones in toy stores, how many times are they gonna try this before it clicks? -

We are so, so close to getting some sort of large scale set where the figures are just Batman and three Jokrs -

Hope the Phantasm is in one of the sets, they're the sorta figure that would of been a pipe dream back when the theme wasn't hospitalised, seeing them released now would be really funny -
Super Mario 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Renny The Spaceman replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I feel like even in a minifig them good portion of the characters would be brick built. Honestly I don't mind the way the theme does it's characters bar the humans., they feel out of scale with everything else and the digital element makes them pretty undisplayable -
I wonder if the rumoured black spaceship set is in fact a Space Police one if the alternate heads included are a bunch of different alien ones to try avoid the jokes/backlash about Space Police 3 portraying a xenophobic future

The thing is Space Police and Blacktron 1 already lend themselves to this better because they already have more detail than Blacktron 2 or M-tron. I just feel like a couple contour lines don't really help the design, like imagine the Black Falcon from series 22 having just the original torso with some added grey lines, it'd kinda feel unfinished. The torso is minimalist in a way the rest of the figure doesn't really match up with. I think even something as simple as a solid colour visor would go a long way
